"Smart Systems for Green and Automated Driving"

The automobile of the future will have to respond to two major trends, the electrification of the drivetrain, and the automation of the transportation system. These trends will not only lead to a greener and safer driving but redefine the concept of the car completely, particularly if they interact with each other in a synergetic way as for autonomous parking and charging, self-driving shuttles or mobile robots.

Enabling functionalities like environment perception are mostly enabled by electronic components and systems, sensors and actors, communication network nodes and smart systems integration. They will make the automobile of the future an integral part of the Internet of Things.

It has been the mission of the International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) for more than fifteen years to detect novel trends and to discuss the technological implications from early on. Therefore, the topic of the conference in 2015 will be “Smart Systems for Green and Automated Driving”.

Leading engineers and scholars from all around the world are cordially invited to participate in the dialogue and submit proposals for papers addres­sing ongoing research and novel developments in this field. Discussions at the conference will focus particularly on the application areas men­tioned below. A special attention will be given to topics covered in public funding programs like the European Green Vehicles Initiative PPP of Horizon 2020.

Topics

Smart systems that enable green and automated driving by providing the following functionalities:

Contributions are expected to address recent research, development, and innovations either for applications or for the enabling technologies.

Conference Book

All papers presented at the AMAA 2015 are published in a Conference Book which is published worldwide as part of the Springer book series Lecture Notes in Mobility prior to the conference. Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book.

Sponsorship Opportunities

There is a multitude of opportunities to bring your company’s activities to the attention of the AMAA community. These are ranging from the standard option to include your company’s logo into select communications to a platinum option which comprises an entry in the list of sponsors on the first pages of the conference book.

Exhibitor Information

The exhibition is an integral part of the AMAA. On both conference days, companies will be given the opportunity to present new products and services as well as novel technologies to an international expert audience representing automakers, suppliers and academia. Prototype vehicles can be shown at a parking lot close to the venue.

Side Events

Working groups e.g. of EPoSS and other initiatives will meet at dedicated satellite events of the AMAA 2015.
